Patented Nov. 10, 1931 JAMES L. CROSS, OFMILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN-INSECTIFUGE HOLDER Application filed March 17, 1930. Serial No. 436,582.

This invention relates to an insectifuge holder designed primarily forholding an insectifuge of the moth-preventive type, such as essentialoils of cedar, but it is to be understood that a holder, inaceordancewith this invention, may be employed for any purpose for whichit is found applicable, and the invention has for its object to provide,in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a holder for m the purposereferred to' so constructed as to permit of the odor of the insectifugecontained therein to continuously permeate a compartment, closet, room,receptacle or space in which the holder is arranged, to pre- 15 vent thedestructive action of moths.

A further object of the invention is to provide, in a manner ashereinafter set forth, a holder for the purpose referred to which issimple in its construction and arrangean ment, strong, durable, compact,thoroughly eflicient when used, readily assembled, and comnarativelvinexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists ofthe novel conparts as hereinafter more specifically described, and asillustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodimentof the invention, but it is to be understood that changes. variationsand modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of theclaims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a top plan view of aninsectifuge holder in accordance with this inven- 1 holder 1s ofcylindrical form and includes an tion. Figure 2 is a side elevationthereof. Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3, Figure 2. Figure4 is asection on line l-4e, Figure 2. Figure 5 is a top plan of a modifiedform. Figure 6 is an elevation, broken away, of the form shown in Figure5.

A holder in accordance with this invention, with reference to Figures 1to 4, comprises a squared hollow body preferably constructod of anysuitable sheet metal and which includes a. flat bottom .1, a top 2provided with a circular opening 3 and a destruction, combination andarrangement of P into which the outlet opens.

' I Secured to the inner face of each side wall is a foraminous member11 of a width greater therewith at one end a bottom 13, and at its otherend a top 14 formed with a circular opening 15 and a depending,annulartapered or edge of opening 15. -frictionally engages'with the flange 16for pending, tapered, annular flange 4 which forms a continuation of thewall or edge of opening'S. The body also includes side walls 5, 6, 7 and8. The bottom 1, top 2 and'side walls are integral with each other. A'55 v flanged lid 8 frictionally engages with the flange 4 for closingthe opening 3.

Each of the side walls have a plurality of superposed slits and belowthe slits inherent parts of the wall are struck outwardly therefrom toform a set of series of superposed. extensions 9 of alength less thanthe width of the wall. Each extension 9 has its length materiallygreater that its width and consists of an intermediate portion, a.pair'of end 6 portions and a free top edge. The extensions 9 of each setare so formed whereby their end portions will curve inwardlytowards thewall from which they are struck. The, intermediate portion of eachextension inclines outwardly from the bottom to the, top

thereof thereby providing an outlet 10 for the passage of the, odorsfrom' the insectifuge which is contained in the holder and an air ocketarranged outwardly of outlet 10 and than the length of the extension andof a. height greater than a set or series of extensions. The members 11prevent the leakage or passage of the insectifuge through the outlets10. The interstices of members 11 are square. The extensions arearranged to direct 8r odors "from the insectifuge upwardly and outwardlywith respect to the holder. p

With reference to Figuresf; and 6, the

annular body portion 12 having integral flange 16 forming a continuationof the wall closing the openings 15.; a

The body portion 12 has struck therefrom aplurality of spaced sets ofsupcrposedextensions 18. The outer extensions of the sets we are spacedfrom the bottom 13 and top 14.

A flanged lid 17 The extensions 18 are formed and arranged in the samemanner as the extensions 9. Each extension 18 provides an outlet 19.

Secured to the inner face of the body portion 12 are spaced foraminousmember-s corresponding in number to the number of sets of extensions.Each: member 20 associates with a set of extensions 18, extends acrossthe outlets 19 provided by the set and is of a width greater than thelength of an extension and of a height greater than'the set. Theextensions 18 and members 20 provide a function the same as thatextensions 9 and members 11.

The openings 3 and 15, when not closed, 1permit of access tothe interiorof the holder ody.

Each form as shown includes a body por tion, a closed top, a closedbottom, a plurality of spaced sets of tensions providing sets of outletsand a foraminous member associated with each set of outlets. 7

It is thought the many advantages of a holder for the purposeset forthand in accordance with this invention can be readily understood, andalthough the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated anddescribed, yet it is to be understood that changes in the details ofconstruction can be had which fall within the scope of the invention' asclaimed.

What I claim is:

1. A holder for the purpose set forth com prising a receptacle formed ofa hollow body portion, a closed-bottom and aclosed top, said bodyportion having spaced inherent parts thereofoutset forming spaced setsof super posed spaced extensions providing spaced sets of. superposedspaced outlets and spacedvsets of spaced air pockets outwardly of andinto which open said outlets, said extensions having free top edges andtheir sides and bottom merging into the body portion, and spacedforaminous members secured to the inner face of said body portionandeach common to and extending completely across and beyond the edges ofthe outlets of a set.

2.v A holder for the purpose set forth comprising a receptacle formed ofa hollow body portion, a closed bottom and a closed top, said bodyportion having spaced inherent parts thereof outset forming spaced setsof superposed spaced extensions providing spaced sets provided by theportion, a closed bottom and a closed top, said body portion havingspaced inherent parts thereof outset forming spaced sets of superposedspaced extensions providing spaced sets of superposed spaced outlets andspaced sets of spaced air pockets outwardly of and into which opensaidoutlets, saidextensions having free top edges and their-sides and bottommerging into the body portion, and spaced foraminous members secured tothe inner face'of said-'body-portion and each common to and extendingcompletely across and beyond the edges of the outlets of a set, theinterstices of said members being of square contour.
